Your Top 3 Cases.

[mike gunnz]

Based solely on my first hand experience and degree to which they met my water cooling criteria:

1. Corsair 800D
2. DimasTech Bench Table
3. Silverstone TJ07

 

[Marvin]

Lian Li X900
Lian Li V1000
Silverstone FT02

Corsair cases are just so dull. Same as Fractal - it's 'just a box'. I prefer the Corsair cases to the Fractals though.

Akasa eclipse 62
Lian li pc p80
Silverstone tjo7

Loved the eclipse due to it's sheer width for a midi case. Currently on a lian li a70f, great case but a few minor niggles with it. Not that impressed with the corsair 700/800, particularly as far as air cooling go's.

CM ATCS 840
CM Stacker 832

I dislike how Corsair are turning into a "jack of all trades" manufacturer. They make the best RAM IMO, their PSUs are immense but stay off the cooling and cases please.. (I do have an H50 in one rig but that doesnt make my argument invalid )

Please enlighten, what is wrong with thier cases?

Lian Li PC-9F
Cooler Master ATCS 840

They are not great for air cooling i guess.

Zalman MS1000-HS2

This case in white is seriously under-represented. And it was one of the first cases in white, being released a little while ago now. And it's lovely . As can be seen here. Shame they're almost impossible to find.

Case wish list at the moment stands at:

Lian Li Tyr PC-X2000

XSPC-H1

Silverstone FT3

 

[Ace Modder]

CM HAF X
Lian Li PC-A05NB
Corsair 800D

I don't care if you consider Corsair to be a "jack of all trades" manafacturer, the fact of the matter is they are significantly better build quality than CM!

My list:

Silverstone FT02B
Silverstone TJ09B
Lian Li PC-X2000F

CM aren't that bad considering the price difference (except for the CM stacker i had rattles like a kids toy ) i doubt if i would buy anything but a silverstone or a lian li now, the Corsairs from what ive seen are good though.

Yeah CM are good for a budget buy there's no denying that, but they're not in the same league as Corsair.

I'm like you, I've had my fill of dreadfull cases over the years, so it's Silverstone or Lian Li for me nowadays

 

[Leeroy123]

Plastic fantastic, I suppose somebody has to like them

What about your other two picks Leeroy?

 

[Cythx]

Antec 1200 all day long

Could not stand having that case in my bedroom, so loud and bright ): good thing I got it pretty cheap

 

[Apem]

Not that great at cooling either the fans suck on the 1200 the design is old now suppose it might be ok case if the fans were replaced.

 

[jaybee]

Past and present I think the top 3 for me are:

Silverstone FT02 - Nuff said

Antec P180 - Set a benchmark in acoustics and separate chambers

Coolermaster Stacker (original beast) - Stealthy skyscraper from the early 00s

 

[Exsurgo]

Coolermaster ATCS840
Xigmateck Elysium with window and black annodized aluminium
Lian Li PC-P80B (a little dear, but if I had the cash...) Looks like a crazy futuristic/bladerunner style pyramid
